Arran FR Chestnut

Alderney Fabric

Arran FR Chestnut is a warm, earthy brown with a softly mottled woven surface. The close weave gives the colour a textured depth that reads rich rather than flat.

About this fabric

This Chestnut colourway shows a warm mid-brown base lifted by lighter golden threads and deeper cocoa flecks, creating a subtly heathered look across the cloth. The weave is clearly visible in the swatch, giving the surface a tactile, upholstery-friendly texture without any printed pattern or repeat. Made from 100% polyester and measuring 140cm wide, it offers a practical plain option for schemes that need a grounded natural tone. The overall effect is inviting and slightly rustic, with enough variation in the weave to keep it visually interesting on larger pieces.

How to use it

Use this chestnut shade on a sofa, ottoman or dining chair where its warm brown tone can anchor lighter woods, creams and tan leathers. It also pairs neatly with olive, stone and brass accents for a cosy, layered scheme.

A grounded chestnut tone that brings warmth and texture to everyday upholstery.

Pairs well with

Arran FR Chestnut is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
